After leaving the palace gate, in a place surrounded by sunlight, a woman dressed in white stood there.
The white gauze still covered her face, and her slender figure stood tall and graceful.
"Zhiyi!" Li Yi called out, and came forward with a smile on his face.
An Zhiyi turned around, and the pretty face under her mask was shocked. This was the first time she saw Li Yi in a dragon robe. After a moment of hesitation, she quickly knelt down and saluted, "Meet you, the civilian girl An Zhiyi..."
"Zhiyi, please get up." Li Yi quickly stepped forward to hold her up.
This action shocked the guard of the Imperial Guard. Who was this woman? His Majesty paid so much attention to her.
An Zhiyi politely took a step back and broke away from Li Yi's hand, her face slightly red. Although the previous matter was explained, there was still an extra layer of strangeness because of their identities.
Li Yi smiled faintly and asked, "Why did you come to see me today?"
"By the way, I will reward you greatly this time. The three talents you recommended have really helped me a lot. This time, it is thanks to them three that we suppressed the rebellion."
An Zhiyi's beautiful eyes flickered, and she gently rolled up the white gauze, revealing a delicate face full of bookishness.
With just one glance, an inexplicable spiritual purification emerged from the bottom of my heart.
He is worthy of being the first female gentleman in Gale!
An Zhiyi frowned slightly, smiled bitterly, and was at a loss. Her expression was even more beautiful.
"Your Majesty, I am actually here to ask for your help today."
"OK!" Li Yi agreed without thinking.
"What, what did your Majesty just say, what..." An Zhiyi was stunned and couldn't help but ask.
Li Yi smiled awkwardly, almost revealing his secret. Fortunately, no one could understand. He prevaricated and said: "It's just no problem. You have helped me so much. I shouldn't help you."
An Zhiyi smiled softly, and it was another scene of shyness.
"Tell me, what do you want me to do for you?"
Li Yi stared at her until she lowered her head shyly.
An Zhiyi took a deep breath, raised her head, with bright eyes and white teeth, "I heard that Your Majesty is going to hold a martial arts competition?"
Li Yi nodded, "Yes, the selection of talents through the imperial examination is the foundation of the country. Now the Dafeng Dynasty is suffering from internal and external troubles. If we don't seize the time to change, I am afraid that my country will be completely destroyed, hahaha."
Seeing that Li Yi could still laugh, An Zhiyi was also shocked and nodded in response, "Yes, now the Gale Dynasty is divided among its vassals. The family members are powerful and control the government and the public. There are also corrupt officials who are tyrannical and prey on the common people. , the world is miserable."
"Destroying the traitors and clearing the court and the public is just the first step. What I want is the people of the world, but I'm afraid this road won't be that easy." His eyes were full of melancholy.
In his previous life, he was the child of the common people. He knew very well how miserable the common people were, and because of this, he could not bear to see the common people suffer.
Seeing the melancholy in Li Yi's eyes, An Zhiyi showed a hint of admiration and joy, and her beautiful eyes were full of emotion.
This is the emperor that he admires, not the good-for-nothing little emperor who only loves cats and dogs and loves women!
Li Yi suddenly lowered his head, "Do you have any ideas or suggestions?"
She came back to her senses, quickly lowered her head, her face flushed, "I don't dare, what suggestions do you have, but if His Majesty needs my help, I will do my best."
"Okay!" Li Yi said with a smile: "This time it is the martial arts examination, and the next time it will be the imperial examination. How about you setting the questions?"
What?
She was so frightened that her face turned pale, "Your Majesty, it's wrong, it's really wrong. There are so many scholars and scholars in the court, how can I, a little girl, be allowed to write the question? Besides, I am a white woman. If word spreads, I'm afraid that the whole world will be shocked." I don’t agree either.”
"Do I need their consent? My consent is enough!"
Li Yi was extremely domineering, "It's not easy to become a white body. Why don't you take part in the imperial examination yourself and get a meritorious title?"
"Should I take the imperial examination?"
An Zhiyi was stunned and didn't react for a long time.
"What's worse, I'm a girl, how can I take the imperial examination?"
"Irregular!"
"It's really against the rules. Those old scholars will definitely not agree?"
Li Yi asked back: "I remember that you want to be a woman who is not inferior to men. Is it just a talk?"
"of course not!"
Her pretty face turned serious, and then she smiled bitterly and said, "But rules are rules. They have been rules for thousands of years. I can't change them just by myself."
"What about me?" Li Yi said without any doubt: "These rules are set by people. If I say they are in compliance with the rules, they will be in compliance with the rules. Who dares to be dissatisfied!"
"When the time comes, I will send someone to invite you to the palace with great fanfare and let you participate in this imperial examination."
"Don't worry, if anyone disobeys, I will deal with him."
An Zhiyi's heart softened, her eyes were full of emotion, but she secretly thought in her heart, Your Majesty is so overbearing!
But the deep-rooted belief that men are superior to women still made An Zhiyi shake her head.
Li Yi immediately made the decision, "That's it, I will change the rules today. Men and women are equal. Women can also participate in the imperial examinations, and can even become officials in the court!"
Only today's Li Yi would dare to say such a rebellious thing.
If those old scholars heard it, how big of a fuss might they cause?
The two people slowly walked into a pond next to the palace, and the eunuchs and maids on the left and right left in a sensible manner.
When we came to the pond, a spring breeze happened to blow by, and countless petals danced and fell into the water, causing ripples. It was so beautiful.
"It's so beautiful!" An Zhiyi leaned against the railing, holding her chin in her hands, just like a picture of a beautiful girl having sex.
Li Yi looked over inadvertently, and his expression suddenly froze, "Yes, it's really beautiful!"
It's just that the two people's opinions of beauty are different.
She naturally has a quiet and elegant aura of a talented woman, which is her most charming thing.
Any man who looks at it can't take his eyes off it, it's so attractive.
I couldn't help but blurt out: "Everyone looks at me in a beautiful way, and the color of the human world is like dust."
The sound hit the ground, and the entire pond was shaken.
Even Cao Qingyan's face turned grim, and he raised his head suddenly, staring at Li Yi in disbelief.
He was not an illiterate old eunuch. He was also a well-read poet, so he naturally recognized the extraordinary nature of this poem.
Combined with the current environment and the beautiful artistic conception, it is almost impossible to get addicted to it.
Even the palace maids raised their heads and tasted the poem carefully.
As for An Zhiyi, that's even more exaggerated.
A pair of watery eyes burst out with a rare brilliance, which was so stunning that his tone became trembling, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, did you write this poem?"
"Uh?" Li Yi was embarrassed and smiled bitterly, but he accidentally pretended to be so.
The key point is that I didn't write it myself, it feels a bit like "stealing".
Mainly because An Zhiyi was so beautiful that I couldn't hold it back for a while.
However, I really can't read these poems written by everyone anymore. The last poem shocked An Zhiyi, and it will still be the same this time. If it gets spread, I don't know what the consequences will be.
The strength of these people is really terrifying.
"Ahem!"
Li Yi coughed awkwardly and quickly changed the topic, "No, no, I saw this in a book occasionally. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't written by me."
He is most afraid that his talent will be overestimated, after all, this stuff is plagiarized.
If you chat with a talented woman like An Zhiyi for a few more words, your secret will be revealed easily.
It would be embarrassing then.
But An Zhiyi obviously didn't believe it, because this was not the first time that Li Yi spat out beautiful words, and every sentence could be regarded as everyone's masterpiece.
"Your Majesty, no, why have I never seen or even heard of such a stunning poem?"
She stared at Li Yi with her beautiful eyes, trying to see something, but Li Yi was so frightened that he quickly hit her.
Li Yi smiled and said: "This is not normal. Many poems written by unknown people are in the royal library and have not been circulated. At most, I borrow flowers to offer to Buddha."
An Zhiyi's beautiful eyes turned, but she still didn't believe it, and she was convinced that Li Yi was lying to her.
Why do you say this? The largest library of the Gale Dynasty is not in the palace, but in Jiangnan Yunhe Tower. Now the capital also has the best library tomb in the world, which complements Jiangnan Yunhe Tower and has its own merits.
As for the collection of books inside, even if An Zhiyi has not read them thoroughly, she has some understanding of them.
Especially the poems in it, she was basically familiar with them, but she had never heard of this poem.
"You don't want me to help, so what can I do for you?" Li Yi didn't want to be burdened by the false reputation and quickly changed the subject.
An Zhiyi said oh, her thoughts returned, and she smiled playfully, "Didn't you ask me to recommend a suitable candidate for the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance last time? I found it for you."
"Who is it?" Li Yi asked.
An Zhiyi said calmly: "Su Changyu's younger brother, Su Wuchen."
Li Yi was surprised, "It's him!"
